So after a year of telling rappers they’re thinking Small, Hov is hiding 1st week sales numbers?

[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

Most get their est that same day of release

How do you we week sales estimate the same day?

There’s a reason why albums drop, the same day of the week

 

[notoriusbig]

Why report numbers when you just going to lie about them anyways

I thought he said numbers don’t lie?

What were nas's first week numbers?

Projections of 80-100k, we'll see. Pretty funny that if not for the first day fukk up, Nas might have sold around the same as Hov and B (if the projections are accurate)

I didn’t ask for projections tho. I asked for the numbers. Iff nas’s numbers haven’t been released then what’s the conspiracy theory behind that? Is jay supppsedly holding nas’s numbers back from the public too?

Everything is projections right now. The officials numbers will not be out for a couple more days. The issue is that Hov/B have allegedly had their sales projections pulled from HDD multiple times. Every time there's a noteworthy album release, there's a Coli thread with HDD sales projections. Usually the numbers turn out to be pretty accurate.I'm not saying Hov/B are gonna do 120k when all is said and done, I'd expect twice that much at least....but it's not gonna be the monster number they expect or want. This is hard to project because of the staggered availability on other streaming platforms.

BTW. I wonder what Rihanna thinks about Everything Is Love being available on Spotify (premium) within a couple days. Is she gonna demand similar treatment for her next Tidal exclusive? They're so afraid of flopping that they're jeopardizing the only selling point Tidal has: exclusive album access for at least a week.

You dude's sounds like hens. All this gossip like you what's going on in people's heads. If they were so afraid of "flopping", not doing monster numbers then why did they just throw the album out there on. Saturday with no promotion?

Isn't Rihanna part owner of tidal anyway?
